At the manufacturing facility's full capacity, that is equivalent to taking 40,000 passenger cars off the road and turning off one million 100W incandescent lightbulbs for one full year. The Greener Alternative From "cradle-to-gate" (extraction and production prior to delivery to customers), bio- based 1,3-propanediol produces 56% less greenhouse gas emissions and consumes 42% less nonrenewable energy than petroleum-based 1,3-propanediol. Compared with propylene glycol (PG), bio-based 1,3-propanediol produces 42% less greenhouse gas emissions and uses 38% less nonrenewable energy from cradle to gate. Compared with butanediol (BDO), bio-based 1,3-propanediol produces 52% less greenhouse gas emissions and uses 32% less nonrenewable energy from cradle-to-gate." 3EPTEMBER/CTOBER ^ 4EXTILE )NSIGHT s TEXTILEINSIGHTCOM Susterra® is a registered trademarks of DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products. CORDURA® is a trademark of INVISTA for durable fabrics. At full capacity, our process saves enough nonrenewable energy to power 1 million 100W incandescent lightbullbs for one year. At full capacity, our process achieves greenhouse gas emissions reductions equivalent to taking 40,000 passenger cars off the road for one year. A Future Where Durability & Sustainability Interconnect. INVISTA's CORDURA ® brand and DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products have collaborated to bring designers the first in a series of eco-innovations powered by the long-lasting durability of CORDURA ® fabrics. This new marriage of technologies means one outcome: durable next generation fabrics featuring high performance bio-based Susterra ® propanediol coat- ings and membranes. To help make this idea a reality, they have engaged their first authorized footwear and apparel mills, Tiong Liong and Everest, to develop durable bio- based CORDURA ® fabric solutions. Footwear: Tiong Liong's CORDURA ® EcoMade and CORDURA ® AFT fabric innovations are laminated with a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) bio-based membrane based on Susterra ® propanediol, which is designed so that perspiration can get out but water cannot get in, helping to keep your feet dry and comfort- able in all weather.
